CHAMOMILE PETALS

Description

Chamomile petals come from the chamomile flower, which is well known for its calming and soothing properties. There are two main types of chamomile: German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) and Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile). Both varieties produce small, daisy-like flowers with white petals and a yellow center.

The center of the flower, which is a bright yellow, dome-shaped disc, is surrounded by these white petals, giving the flower a sunburst or daisy-like look. Chamomile petals are aromatic, with a mild, sweet, and slightly fruity fragrance that is characteristic of the herb. They are known for their calming properties, which make them highly sought after in herbal teas and remedies.
